I had the opportunity to test gaming laptops equipped with AMD’s mobile processors, including the Ryzen 7840HS and the 7735HS, and I have personally handled them. As a result, I personally think that the launch of the 7000 series Phoenix APU in the first half of last year was successful.
Not only the high performance of the Radeon graphics built into the AMD 7000 series processor, but also the processor performance that enables comfortable gaming with a stable and high number of cores and threads. In addition, the stable heat management and the absence of minor interruptions or throttling were quite impressive. I definitely think that the gap in performance has now narrowed to the point where it is comparable to a desktop.
In addition, AMD has released a variety of product lines in this 7000 series Phoenix lineup, including low-power entry products, high-performance flagship products with high cores and threads, and moderately usable mainstream products, not only expanding consumers’ choices, but also providing high performance and good performance. We achieved competitiveness through cost-effectiveness.
